The Hero As A Man Of Letters - Thomas Carlyle - Bog

""The Hero as a Man of Letters"" is a collection of six essays written by Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher, historian, and writer. The essays explore the idea of the ""hero"" in literature and the role of the writer in society. Carlyle argues that the true hero is not the one who achieves great deeds or fame, but rather the one who has a deep understanding of the world and is able to convey this understanding through their writing. He also emphasizes the importance of literature in shaping society and the need for writers to take on a more active role in shaping the world around them. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between literature, society, and the individual, and it remains a significant work in the history of literary criticism.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, by Thomas Carlyle.
